Emmy-winning U.S. director and producer John Maggio is shooting “Milano,” a high-profile doc on the rise of the Italian fashion industry that is expected to feature many of Italy’s most iconic fashion designers.
Maggio, who most recently directed HBO doc “The Perfect Weapon,” based on the best-selling book by David E. Sanger about the rise of cyber conflict, has been in production on location on the new project since late October, which was written and developed by Italy-based American journalist Alan Friedman.
“There have been plenty of films about individual fashion houses,” Friedman — who is a former Milan correspondent for the Financial Times — told Variety. “But there’s never been an independent, fair and balanced look at the extraordinary story of the birth of Italian fashion in the 1970s and ’80s and how it’s so influenced American lifestyle and world lifestyle.”

In a ceremony Tuesday night, the Television Academy announced the winners of the 2019 News & Documentary Emmy Awards.
HBO took home ten statues, the most of any single winner. Six of those wins were the result of HBO’s now defunct relationship with Vice: “Vice News Tonight,” which ended its run this month after being canceled by HBO in June. (It will return on Viceland.) It took home five, while Vice Special Report took home one. The rest went to HBO Documentary Films.
PBS came in a close second with nine Emmys. Four went to “Independent Lens,” two to “Frontline,” two to “PBS News Hour” and one to “God Knows Where I Am.” And in third place was CBS with six Emmys: Five to “60 Minutes” and one won jointly by “48 Hours” and “CBS This Morning.”
